Lori and I were blessed to visit Dogon Country last weekend and be a part of village life for a few days. Lori has some friends there with the Peace Corps, and so we got to "get inside" rather than be tourists. The Dogon people received us as honored guests. We ate with the chief 2 evenings, got to dance with his wives, learned how to do a proper greeting in Dogon, tried to carry peanuts on our head, and played with kids.
